Job description

We’re looking for a Senior Backend developer to work with us on our personal performance analytics tool for League of Legends players. You’ll have the chance to work on a tool that’s the first of its kind and in a booming industry that’s been growing exponentially for years.

This means the chance to improve the gaming experience of your fellow summoners all over the world, working alongside video game enthusiasts like yourself. The aim of our company is to build powerful tools that enable all players to step up their game and present their best self to the community they play in, AND of course, we want it to be a fun journey…

That’s where you come in! As a Backend developer, we want you to build the very foundation of our product. The code that you write will be the cornerstone for all the magic that players see when they get the insights and data visualizations. We really need you to be a master at your craft so that you can carry us to victory with your build. League of Legends is where we are starting, but if you love all sorts of games and find yourself thinking about tools you could create for them, you are definitely in the right place with us.

We have a highly transparent work philosophy for everything from workflow to salary. The team is distributed all over the world, so where you want to pitch up in a hammock in Thailand, work from your mother’s basement in Michigan or anything in between doesn’t matter.
